I've told Charlie at least 15 times since we began this adventure that I couldn't wait to look out one of the windows and see tons of deer. Well, I got my wish today with a twist. Chas, Lauren, and Rachel were with us at the house this evening around 5:30 when Charlie looks out the kitchen window where he was working and notices several deer grazing in the back yard. He calls to me and says, "babe, your deer are here". Immediately, all three kids rush toward the window making all kinds of ridiculous noises of excitement (something not quite as loud as screaming). Mind you, it's not as if our kids have never seen deer---they cruise through our yard every now and then at our current residence. Charlie then tries shushing the kids while they jockey for position at the window---and as soon as I can get a look for myself--what do I see? Twelve deer and at least half of them are looking back at us--probably thinking, "what in the world is all that noise?"

very awesome, yes my sister is a nut, but a good one. Love you girl! Mom gave me the articles and I love what you guys are doing. Oh yeah, should I write an inhospitable letter for you to keep you safe?
